Re: [PLUG] Security of RedHat 8.0 and Apache 2.0.43

Maturity is important. If you're running a stable, patched OS and Web server, why rush to install newer versions? With newer versions come new problems. Over time those problems will be patched, making the newer OS and Web server more reliable and secure. So, for production use, stay behind the "bleeding-edge" releases. Test, patch, test, then use.

Hi,

I have seen a number of webservers that run RedHat 7.x and Apache 1.x ...
are the older versions used because of hardware, migration or security
issues?  or something else?

That is to say, are RedHat 8.0 and Apache 2.0.43 still considered adequately
secure for a publicly available web server?
